C# numeric enum value as string

by

You should just be able to use the overloads of Enums ToString method to give it a format string, this will print out the value of the enum as a string.

public static class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var val = Urgency.High;
        Console.WriteLine(val.ToString("D")); 
    }
}

public enum Urgency 
{ 
    VeryHigh = 1,
    High = 2,
    Low = 4
}
